      Host file may have been changed in your system. My friend had similar problem after changing host file.

   First, download another browser - Firefox, Safari, Chrome, it doesn't matter.
   
   If the ads show there, it is a setting in your other browser.
   
   If not, it is at the network level.  DNS or a firewall is blocking this.

         If you have a firewall on your pc, disable it.
         
         Change your DNS to 8.8.8.8 (Google DNS).

   Are you sure you want to advise someone to disable their Windows Firewall?

      Yes.  The point is to find out where his problem is.  If he finds out it is the firewall, he can investigate farther. If not, he can reenable it.

   Glad that was clarified
   There may be newbies reading here who think it is a good thing to do when in actual fact disabling your firewall should only be done very short term while you are attempting to correct a fault. Otherwise your computer is lying wide open to an online attack.

      Not entirely true. Most of us have hardware firewall routers, which filter incoming traffic.  Depending upon what you are using internally, it can be redundant.  Not that redundancy is bad and not that a pc firewall wouldn't help protect you from your local lan and vice versa.
      
      However, these firewalls are also often a source of interference.  Shutting them off momentarily can narrow the problem. If nothing changes, he can turn it back on and try changing DNS.

   Its more than likely just some ad blocking software.
